Pizza dough coach · iOS

Show it your pizza. It tells you what went wrong.

An hour after dinner, Leva asks how it went. Send one photo and get what happened, why, and the one change for next time. Every bake you log makes the next answer sharper.

One bake, start to verdict

One Saturday, as the app runs it.

Blue is what you did. Green is what's happening right now. Amber is what the app planned or expects. Cream is the Coach, only when you ask.

FRI 16:30
PLANNED
You pick Saturday, 7:00 PM. Lievanto works back from it: weigh at 16:30 on Friday, mix at 16:40, two folds, into the fridge at 18:50. Every step gets a clock and a reminder 15 minutes before.
SAT 14:50
DONE
Out of the fridge, divide, ball. Four balls at 280 g. One tap marks the step done, and the plan keeps its shape around you.
SAT 17:25
LIVE
Preheat the stone. Cook Mode shows one step per screen: what to do, what to look for, and a timer you can read from across the kitchen.
SAT 19:00
SERVED
Bake, pie by pie. Served at seven, as planned. The bake is in the log without you writing anything down.
SAT 20:00
NOTIFICATION
An hour after serving, the app asks how it went. You send one photo of the pizza. Leva reads it, and your last five bakes of this recipe, before she answers.

I'M REASONABLY CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS ONE

Burnt base, pale top.

The floor was saturated after the long preheat, but the flame was low at launch, so the base charred before the crown had any heat to colour.

THE ONE CHANGE

Run the flame at full for the last minute of every gap between pizzas, then drop it as you launch.

The dome recovers without adding more floor heat.

OBSERVEDDeep char ring under the base edge, crown still pale.UNKNOWNFloor temperature at launch.

Saved to that bake with one tap. Optional, and nothing is sent until you tap send.

NEXT SAT
AHEAD
The verdict is on the bake, and the bake is in the log. The next diagnosis starts from this one, so the same mistake does not get explained twice.
The rest of the bake

Plan it, cook it, ask about it.

Calculators and schedulers exist. These are the versions that know which oven you have and remember what you baked last time.

The Lievanto plan screen: eat at Monday 7:00 PM, first step Sunday 4:30 PM, and every step with its own clock

Plan backward from dinner.

Pick when you want to eat. Mix, fold, ball, fridge-out and preheat each get a clock, and a reminder 15 minutes before.

Lievanto Cook Mode: the bulk ferment step with three bullet points and a 40-minute timer counting down

One step. One screen.

What to do, what to look for, and a timer you can read from across the kitchen. Tick off ingredients, add a note or a photo, move on.

Asking Leva by voice: a recording in progress, sent as text, with the audio deleted

Ask with dough on your hands.

Tap the mic and say it. Leva transcribes the question and answers with your bake, your oven and your kitchen in mind. Or type, and attach up to 3 photos.

It learns from your bakes

It shows you what it believes, and lets you correct it.

Every bake you log builds a picture of how your dough actually behaves: bulk timing, shaping, hydration. Each belief sits next to the bakes it counted, marked observed, inferred or unknown.

Setup asks which oven you bake in, down to the model, because preheat times, floor behaviour and what a burnt base means all depend on it. Outdoor gas and wood ovens, a steel in a home oven, or a deck oven: it asks once and remembers.

Still here

Sourdough did not go anywhere.

Sourdough bread, focaccia and pan pizza are fully supported, with recipes and starters alongside the pizza work. The starter log still learns your jar's rhythm and tells you when it will peak.

Twenty recipes ship in the app, from Neapolitan to a Saturday sourdough, and the Learn library covers both.

What it won't do.

Lievanto can't guarantee a bake. A diagnosis says how confident Leva is and names what she could not see, so you can weigh it. It never edits your recipes: suggestions sit beside the original, and you decide what to keep. And the Coach only speaks when you ask. Saving a bake sends nothing, and your photos stay on your phone until you send one.

FAQ

Common questions.

What does Lievanto actually do?

It is a pizza dough coach for iPhone. Plan a bake backward from when you want to eat, cook it one step per screen, and an hour after serving send one photo of the pizza for a diagnosis: what went wrong, why, and the one change for next time.

Does it work with an outdoor pizza oven?

Yes. Setup asks which oven you bake in, down to the model, including Ooni, Gozney and Effeuno ovens, and preheat guidance and diagnoses take it into account. Home ovens with a stone or a steel are covered too.

Is it free?

The free plan includes the planner, Cook Mode, the logbook, the calculators and a monthly Coach allowance. Lievanto Pro adds cloud photo backup, production runs for bigger bakes, a price book and saved calculator formulas.

Where do my photos go?

They stay on your phone unless you send one to Leva or turn on Pro photo backup. Nothing reaches an AI provider until you tap send, and the app tells you what will be sent first. No ads, no tracking, no analytics SDK.

I bake sourdough. Is this still for me?

Yes. Sourdough bread, focaccia and pan pizza are fully supported, with recipes and a starter log that learns your jar's rhythm and tells you when it will peak.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Lievanto is on iOS. The calculators on this site run in any browser and use the same formulas as the app.

Out of the oven.

The iOS app is live. The free plan is included. Lievanto Pro is EUR 7.99 a month or EUR 39.99 a year.
